"I am exceptionally pleased to be part of a board comprised of such a committed group of individuals who bring a diverse and strong scope of capabilities to the table," Deleo said. "As we enter Phase II of our capital campaign, this is a group who will roll-up their collective sleeves and get the job done. We will continue to seek out individuals who are willing to help us accomplish our mission of expanding cultural education and experiences for children."

The museum board is presently wrapping up a community resource questionnaire aimed at understanding attitudes and perceptions about the museum and identifying a broad range of resources including time, talent and fiscal.

The results will enable the board to develop a strategic course for future planning and fund-raising for the capital campaign. Individuals interested in responding to the questionnaire should contact Doug Deleo at (413) 562-7081.
